This is one of two very large wildlife refuges bracketing the island. Amazing bird watching here.

From a July 2019 review - I've never been here before but it was a trip I'll never forget because it was my first Wood Stork sighting. Besides this amazing memory, I was disappointed. There are CDs that you can borrow (AND RETURN) that will tell you about the different stops or attraction points. The reason it was disappointing is that one of the boardwalks it referenced was missing, on one of the stops it offers "universal access" but the concrete path was completely over grown, and other things like this. Besides all this, the nature was amazing and I'll never forget it. I did the auto-tour twice, if you do the trails bring giant mosquito repellent. Watch for the MANY alligators which look like logs on the side of the road. I saw the wood stork, ibis, egrets, caracara, red-winged black birds, night hawks, moorhens, watch for crabs and field mice crossing the road, try not to drive into the grass when passing if you don't have to for this reason, they like to hang out there.
